Clever title by the way...

Anywho, as I stated earlier, a professor of mine wrote a book concerning desire, but I haven't purchsed it because it's thirty fuckin' dollars and I didn't like him that much. But I did take his course on desire however.

As burning bush stated, desire for the most part is related to the instinctual nature of our being. However, there is something to be said about desires evolution through intelligence and, as burning bush states, the complexities of society.

The psychological make-up of humanity is vastly different than 99% of all the species on earth. How many species desire: Sex for pleasure? Art? Entertainment? Enlightenment? Intelligence? The fruits of its society?

An ant's colony is busy, busy, busy, busy. The collect multiple pounds of food, but only use it to satisfy certain desires: namely--to eat, so as to sustain energy for work, so as to live comfortably.

Humans, on the other hand, eat what they eat to satisfy many desires. Why?

Unlike the majority of species littering this planet, humans have sentience and an idea of self. An ant's desire is met with an objective approach, and like all the other ants of its colony, the desire is matched and equaled to all its brothers and sisters...and even then, ant A's desire is the same as ant B's desire.

Yet, humans aren't like that. I love seafood, heavy metal music, comic books, horror movies; I smoke, I like wine and whiskey and dark beer; I love strawberry milk; I'm not a fan of chocolate...and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Why aren't our desires the same?! And even if they're similar, such as we both love comic books, why do I desire to collect alternative/gothic comics and you desire Marvel?
